To assist in discerning different criteria, we’ve broken this Sigenergy installer training into two parts: Essential Learning and Supplementary Learning.

Essential Learning

Essential Sigenergy installer training is focused on the foundational products of the Sigenstor system: the Sigen Energy Controller and Sigen Battery units. All other components for installer training are covered in the Supplementary Sigenergy Installer Training modules.

Download the Installer App

A modern requirement, all new sustainable energy systems commence with the need to download the manufacturer’s nominated installer app for effective commissioning.

Before You Begin:

Download the App. The modern sustainable energy electrician now has installer apps as part of their tool kit. It’s advised to ensure you’re a registered installer before attempting to install Sigenergy Sigenstor. PSW Energy and Perth Solar Warehouse staff should have installer access (contact Projects). Sigenergy’s appeal is its software and function through a digitally enhanced user experience. One should not install SigenStor without pre-downloading the ‘mySigen app’ for a seamless commissioning process.

Step 1: Download “mySigen” App by searching in the App store or GooglePlay (alternatively, scan the QR code).

Step 2: Register on Sigenergy as an installer.

Step 3: Visit “Support” on official website of Sigenergy to learn knowledge and get the installation manual.

Step 4: Prepare itools including personal protective equipment (PPE) and installation tools according to the manual.

Step by Step Installation Guide

New product concepts can appear daunting. But every now and again, a new technology arrives and simplifies the installer process through improved design. However, it’s important to understand the recommended installer training concepts prior to attempting installation. Welcome to the game-changing Sigenergy Sigenstor sustainable energy system.  Here’s a brief step-by-step guide with links to further resources if required:

Installation:

The beauty of SigenStor for installers is its modular, all-in-one design and rapid fast commissioning. It is recommended to watch the video relating to the installation of Sigenergy SigenStor (below) to visually grasp the installation process.

Step 1: Take the mounting base out of packaging and place it on flat surface.

Step 2: Use the measure template to mark mounting holes for the battery and inverter (‘PACK’ pin-points ‘SigenStor’ BAT, and ‘INV’ pin-points ‘SigenStor’ EC/AC). Drill the mounting holes and install ‘M8’ expansion bolts.

Step 3: Use the handle to lift the battery to avoid injury. Keep the battery horizontal, then place it onto the base.

Step 4: The procedure of placing ‘SigenStor’ EC/AC is the same as placing ‘SigenStor’ BAT.

Step 5: Fasten battery-to-battery, battery-to-inverter with cascaded plates on both sides. Fasten the battery and inverter to the wall with corresponding connecting plate.

Step 6: Connect cables according to the installation guide.

Step 7: Check all parts of Sigenstor are properly installed, and all modules including the inverter and battery are in normal condition.

Step 8: Login to mySigen App and scan the QR code on the packing list. Activate Sigenstor step by step following the commissioning guide.

Note: Ensure that the device is connected to the network through wired or WIFI. The device cannot be activated, and default connect to internet by 4G because the default data flow of 4G is 30MB/ month.
